Default Digital - Whats to hear?

I've been an owner of a Realistic (gaaaassp) Pro2052 for the past year and
have enjoyed the trunking with this discone antenna, HOWEVER...

I just cant stop looking at the newer Uniden BC models, specificly the BC
785D (http://www.bc785d.us/) because of its display and backlit buttons.
So what I'd like to know is, on the subject of the optional digital card
add-ons, is there anything "more" to listen to if I buy this scanner and
card? I'm kinda talking just in the digital area...

Are there digital transmissions that can be listened to that analog scanners
cant? I hope this makes sense
And I'm NOT refering to illigal transmissions, just those that can be heard
by digital folks vs. analog.

Thanks group!

In the Front Range of Colorado, if you don't have digital, you have very
little. I have just come out of the silence with a Pro96.

It just depends on where you live. Here's a link that will show you
some of the digital systems out there (you may need to setup a free
account on this web site first) ...
